Extension available in "Extensions" -> "Render" -> "LaTeX formula" doesn't work. When entering a valid formula like $s_0$, the extension fails with a python backtrace. By inspecting the LaTeX temporary files that were created, I got the following error in eq.out: "Unsupported output format plot-svg" This error is outputted by pstoedit which doesn't recognize the svg format. Re-emerging media-gfx/pstoedit-3.50 with the plotutils use flag enabled fixes the problem and allows the LaTeX render extension to function properly. Please make inkscape depend on media-gfx/pstoedit[plotutils] or something like that.
can not reproduce the bug in inkscape 0.48.4 anymore. Perhaps it is fixed or was caused by external code?

This issue still exists. Per the recently duped bugs, I think Inkscape should have a USE=latex flag which pulls in all of these packages. We need at least: * media-gfx/pstoedit[plotutils] Without USE=plotutils, we get the crash and the python backtrace reported in this bug. The option won't even be available on the menu without pstoedit. * app-text/dvipsk Without the 'dvips' binary, Inkscape will hide the option from the tools menu: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/LaTeX * dev-texlive/texlive-latex-2012 Without the 'latex' binary, no menu option. See above. The textext extension (which is nicer than the built-in feature IMO) ADDITIONALLY requires, * dev-python/lxml
No particular version of dev-texlive/texlive-latex is needed. Copy/paste error.
Created attachment 394652 [details] textext-0.4.4.ebuild Here's an ebuild for the textext extension, which could be pulled in along with USE=latex if so desired. Written and tested in about 30 seconds, but it seems to work.

See above. I took the liberty of adding the deps with a latex useflag in 91-r2.
The new 0.91-r2 ebuild has dropped ~arm keyword.
It seems that now the ~arm keyword could be savely restored. (Sorry for hijacking this bug, but it seems that a keyword request should have been filed when dropping the keyword.)
Thank you, dilfridge for the use flag. Can we copy and paste this solution to the other ebuilds and close the bug as fixed?
fixed in 0.91
